Have you heard of Tossa del Mar?

Although it may not be the largest town on the Costa Brava coastline, Tossa del Mar is arguably one of the most majestic and impressive. Not only is it home to three beautiful beaches, but it also has a dominating castle, quaint old town and an altogether relaxed vibe.

The old town is known as Vila Vella,
and is the only fully surviving Medieval fortified town in along the coast of
Costa Brava. Plus, it boasts stunning views of the sea below. Stepping through
the walls you will find yourself in a maze of cobbled alleys, with many bars
and restaurants to enjoy.

Castillo de Tossa del mar

The castle that stands perched on the hill is the town’s most impressive feature. You will need to climb a winding path to reach the summit, but when you do you will be rewarded with some beautiful views of the beaches and town. If you don’t fancy the climb, you can always hop on the little land train to take you to the top.

Dog walking

Located just a short walk outside of
the town lies the Tossa del Mar animal shelter, and you will certainly hear
when you are getting close thanks to the chorus of barking! The shelter is
always looked for people to help walk their pooches, and the surrounding area
is a great place to go for a stroll with a rescued dog by your side.

Water sports

Although Tossa del Mar is a sleepy
little town most of the time, it certainly has its fair share of water sports.
Adrenaline seekers can hop on the back of a banana boat, while those that fancy
something a little more relaxing can hire a kayak or take to the water on a
glass bottom boat.
